## EXECUTION
Learner Goal → Prior Knowledge → Instruction Strategy → Practice → Feedback → Assessment → Adaptation. Complete the task in the smallest complete workflow that solves it. Make inputs, decisions and deliverables explicit. Return the requested result, not a description of the workflow.
## FAILURE PREVENTION + QA
Watch for: level mismatch; passive instruction without practice; weak feedback loop; assessment misaligned to objective. Apply only relevant prevention rules. Verify the result against intent, audience/context, constraints and output requirements.
## ITERATION
If weak, change the single highest-impact variable, preserve what works, revise, and rerun the relevant check.
## OUTPUT CONTRACT
Return a specific, immediately usable result. Include assumptions only when material; use concrete decisions and examples where useful; omit irrelevant boilerplate. Do not merely restate this prompt.
## SPECIALIST STANDARD
Judge the result using the professional standards of **Exams**. Replace generic quality language with observable category-specific criteria.
## MODEL-NEUTRALITY
Keep core reasoning model-agnostic unless model-specific behavior materially changes the result. When a model is specified, adapt only the relevant syntax or capability.
## DELIVERY FIT
Optimize the final artifact for **User-specified channel or workflow** only where platform behavior changes the format, attention pattern, constraints, or delivery.
## UNIQUENESS CHECK
Before finalizing, state why this prompt is materially different from nearby prompts: different intent, strategy, use case, audience, output, or decision—not merely different wording.
